The  Author 


Author's  Foreword 

No  effort  has  been  spared  in  the  compilation  and  production  of  the  Sangamon 
County  Honor  Book  to  make  it  authentic,  authoritative,  and  accurate.  However,  I 
cannot  vouch  for  all  the  facts  contained  therein,  because  I  was,  to  a  very  great  extent, 
compelled  to  take  the  information  given  me  by  the  families  of  the  men  and  women  in 
service,  by  their  friends,  or  whatever  persons  I  could  locate  who  knew  anything  about 
them.  I  secured  the  service  record  lists  of  churches,  lodges,  stores,  industrial  and 
other  organizations,  and  was  given  access  to  the  records  of  the  draft  boards  and  to 
newspaper  files  in  a  comprehensive  effort  to  obtain  some  information  about  every 
person  who  went  into  service  from  Sangamon  county.  And  in  every  case,  however 
the  information  was  received,  an  attempt  at  verification  was  made. 

Mistakes  have  been  found  after  the  pages  left  the  press.  To  the  best  of  my  ability 
I  have  noted  these  mistakes  and  given  the  true  facts  in  a  section  of  the  Honor  Book 
given  over  to  corrections. 

In  the  event  of  future  editions  all  such  errors  will  be  corrected  in  the  main  body 
of  The  Honor  Book.  And  if  any  one  who  finds  a  mistake  unnoted  at  this  time  will 
notify  either  myself  or  the  publisher,  corrections  will  be  made  in  future  publications. 

If  the  service  record  and  photograph  of  any  man  or  woman  from  Sangamon  county 
who  served  in  the  World  War  is  omitted  from  the  Honor  Book,  it  is  due  to  their  failure 
to  respond  to  repeated  requests  for  the  necessary  pictures  and  information.  It  is  be- 
lieved that  those  whose  records  and  photographs  are  not  now  included  will  realize  the 
scope  and  nature  of  the  Honor  Book  when  the  first  edition  is  seen,  and  will  wish  to 
appear  in  future  editions.  In  such  cases  it  is  only  necessary  to  forward  photographs 
and  facts  to  the  author  or  publisher,  and  they  will  be  cheerfully  received  for  subsequent 
publications. 

For  any  information  concerning  future  editions  of  the  Honor  Book,  any  corrections 
desired,  or  any  further  addition  of  facts  or  photos,  communicate  with  myself,  or  A.  P. 
Bickenbach,  Publisher,  Illiopolis,  111.

Introduction 

By  Governor  FRANK  O.   LOWDEN,  Illinois 

Illinois  sent  351,153  soldiers  into  the  Federal  service  during  the  Great  War. 
From  the  summoning  of  the  National  Guard  to  Camp  Lowden  in  Springfield,  until 
the  discharge  of  the  Marines  in  August,  1919,  it  was  my  privilege  as  Governor  of 
Illinois  to  see  the  flower  of  the  State  in  training  camp,  marching  with  fearless  eye  to 
the  transports,  and  returning  from  overseas.  Among  these  were  the  men  from  Sanga- 
mon  County,  of  which  my  own  son  was  one. 

There  was  never  any  doubt  in  my  mind  of  the  record  these  men  would  make. 
They  had  a  proud  heritage  to  inspire  them  in  their  European  service.  Going  from 
the  State  that  produced  Lincoln  and  those  matchless  soldiers,  Grant  and  Logan,  we 
could  not  expect  them  to  do  other  than  bring  back  our  banners  unsullied.  We  followed 
our  soldiers  in  all  the  arduous  months  in  which  they  were  away  from  us.  We  fol- 
lowed them  with  love  and  pride.  We  are  familiar  with  the  great  battles  in  which 
they  were  engaged.  We  know  something  of  Hamel;  we  know  how  Illinois  men  were 
among  the  first  there  to  make  all  the  world  know  what  the  American  soldier  was  and 
what  he  could  do.  We  know  something  of  the  Mort  Homme  sector;  we  remember 
the  Bois  de  Forges.  We  recall  the  trying  days  in  the  Argonne  and  those  of  St.  Mihiel. 
Those  names  will  be  treasured  forever  in  the  history  of  Illinois  and  the  history  of  the 
United  States. 

We  have  not  forgotten  the  comrades  who  will  come  back  no  more.  The  memories 
of  those  brave  men  who  fell  upon  the  greatest  battlefields  of  history  will  be  tenderly 
cherished  in  the  heart  of  Illinois  and  in  the  heart  of  our  common  country.  For  the 
living,  our  gratitude,  our  love;  for  those  silent  comrades,  our  gratitude,  our  pride, 
our  tears. 

Those  who  spent  months  in  camps  in  the  United  States  and  had  none  of  the 
excitement  and  dangers  of  battle,  but  who  nevertheless  served  their  country  to  the 
best  of  their  ability,  also  are  entitled  to  our  praise  and  gratitude.  Home  is  Illinois, — 
America, — the  best  country  in  the  world.  It  has  always  been  worth  fighting  for.  The 
men  now  sleeping  on  foreign  battlefields  have  proven  that  it  is  worth  dying  for. 

Now  that  war  is  over,  a  new  task  awaits.  It  is  the  preservation  of  the  liberties 
for  which  the  young  men  of  America  risked  their  lives.  It  is  the  resumption  of  peaceful 
relations.  Great  problems  lie  ahead  and  our  soldiers  must  aid  in  their  solution.  I  am 
sure  that  they  will  not  fail  in  the  future  any  more  than  they  did  in  the  past  when  they 
were  called  upon  to  risk  all. 


STATUE  OF  LIBERTY. 

The  "Beautiful  Old  Girl,"  last  seen  as  our  boys  went  across,  and  their  first  glad  sight 

coming  home.

THE  THIRTY-THIRD  DIVISION 

The  Thirty-third  Division,  Major  General  George  E.  Bell,  Jr.,  commanding,  had 
as  its  nucleus  the  former  National  Guard  of  the  State  of  Illinois.  For  this,  reason  it 
was  known  as  the  Illinois  or  "Prairie"  Division. 

The  organization  of  the  Thirty-third  Division  took  place  at  Camp  Logan,  Houston' 
Texas,  in  September,  1917,  and  the  Division  trained  there  until  May,  1918,  when  it 
sailed  overseas. 

The  Thirty-third  Division  participated  in  the  great  battles  which  will  be  known 
throughout  history  as  the  final  battles  of  the  World  War,  culminating  in  Victory  for 
the  Allies.  The  first  was  Amiens,  then  Hamel,  the  Toul  Sector,  Verdun,  St.  Mihiel 
Offensive,  and  last  of  all,  the  Meuse-Argonne  Offensive. 

Men  from  Sangamon  county  were  in  various  regiments,  machine  gun  battalions, 
artillery  units  and  trains  of  the  Thirty-third  Division.  In  addition  to  Company  C, 
124th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  and  Battery  A,  124th  Field  Artillery,  members  of 
which  were  largely  Sangamon  county  men,  the  county  was  represented  on  the  Thirty- 
third  Divisional  Staff  and  in  Headquarters  Troop,  in  Headquarters  Detachments  of  the 
above  named  units,  in  the  108th  Sanitary  Train,  108th  Engineers,  130th  and  131st  In- 
fantry Regiments,  122nd  and  123rd  Machine  Gun  Battalions,  and  other  units  of  the 
Division.  They  made  distinguished  records. 

Following  the  Armistice,  the  Thirty-third  Division  served  with  the  Army  of 
Occupation.  They  reached  the  United  States  in  May,  1919,  and  were  reviewed  in 
Chicago  by  Governor  Frank  O.  Lowden,  State  Officials  and  Division  Commanders, 
and  were  discharged  at  Camp  Grant,  Illinois,  the  latter  part  of  May  and  first  week 
in  June,  1919.

COMPANY  C 

Company  C,  124th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  Thirty-third  Division,  was  originally 
Company  C  of  the  Fifth  Illinois  Infantry.  The  majority  of  the  Sangamon  county 
men  in  this  organization  joined  it  during  the  months  of  March  and  April,  1917,  after 
the  Illinois  National  Guard  company  was  federalized. 

Company  C,  as  it  was  always  and  proudly  known,  trained  first  at  Camp  Lowden, 
at  Springfield,  so  named  in  honor  of  Governor  Frank  O.  Lowden.  Later  they  were 
placed  on  guard  duty  at  the  Powder  Works. 

In  September,  1917,  Company  C  was  sent  to  Camp  Logan,  Houston,  Tex.,  and 
assigned  to  the  124th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  33rd  Division.  Later  many  of  the  men 
who  originally  left  Springfield  as  members  of  Company  C  were  assigned  to  other 
companies  in  the  124th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  and  to  other  battalions  of  the  33rd 
Division.  However,  to  the  "Home  Folks"  they  were  always  known  as  "Company  C 
Boys." 

They  remained  at  Camp  Logan  until  May,  1918,  when  they  began  the  long 
and  to  them  eager  journey  to  France.  They  sailed  May  16,  1918,  on  the  U.  S.  S. 
Mt.  Vernon. 

Landing  in  France  May  26,  Company  C  men  were  subsequently  in  various 
camps,  constantly  moving  forward,  and  getting  under  preparation  for  their  part  in 
the  big  closing  battles  of  the  War,  which  were  for  the  most  part  the  hardest  fought. 

On  September  6,  1918,  the  Battalion  was  transferred  by  motor  truck  to  Boise- 
des-Sartelles,  near  Ballycourt,  and  from  that  time  on  took  part  in  the  operations  which 
lasted  through  the  Meuse-Argonne  Offensive,  which  started  September  26,  and  the 
operations  in  the  Troyon  Sector,  which  ended  with  the  Armistice  on  November  11,  1918. 

The  "Big  Days"  in  Company  C's  history  can  be  set  forth  beginning  with  June 
20-21,  1918,  when  the  Thirty-third  Division,  of  which  Company  C  was  part,  moved 
into  the  Amiens  Sector  where  a  great  German  rush  was  expected. 

On  August  23,  1918,  the  Division  was  transferred  from  the  British  Front  to 
the  First  American  Army  in  the  Toul  Sector. 

September  6,  1918,  they  started  for  Verdun.  Here  they  relieved  the  French  on 
the  7th,  8th  and  9th,  the  first  American  division  to  hold  positions  on  the  historic  battle- 
field. 

On  September  26,  1918,  Company  C  furnished  a  barrage  for  the  infantry  during 
the  attack  on  the  Forges  Sector.  They  remained  in  that  territory  until  October  9. 

On  October  15,  Company  C  relieved  Company  B,  123rd  Machine  Gun  Battalion, 
in  Donneveaux  Woods,  remaining  there  until  relieved  by  the  French,  October  20,  1918. 

November  10-11,  Company  C  participated  in  the  attack  on  Butgneville,  going 
over  the  top  at  5  o'clock  in  the  morning  and  continuing  in  action  until  the  hour  of 
1 1  o'clock,  when  the  Armistice  went  into  effect. 

It  was  in  this  engagement,  on  the  last  day  of  war,  and  in  the  last  hour,  that 
Company  C  lost  six  men.  One  loss  of  life  had  previously  been  suffered^ 

The  history  of  Company  C  is  one  of  pride  to  Sangamon  county.  And  in  saying 
the  history  of  Company  C,  that  means  the  men  who  were  in  the  company  originally 
and  were  transferred  to  other  organizations,  in  the  same  Division.

BATTERY  A,  124TH  FIELD  ARTILLERY, 

Photograph  taken  at  Camp  Logan,  Houston, 


BATTERY  A 

Battery  A,  124th  Field  Artillery,  Thirty-third  Division,  was  formerly  "Troop  D" 
of  the  First  Illinois  Cavalry.  Federalized  in  March,  1917,  the  organization  was 
assigned  to  Camp  Logan,  Houston,  Tex.,  in  September  of  that  year,  and  became  part 
of  the  Thirty-third,  or  Illinois,  Division. 

They  remained  at  Camp  Logan  until  May,   1918,  sailing  overseas  at  that  time. 

The  story  of  Battery  A  is  one  of  heroism.  They  first  went  into  action  September 
13,  1918,  at  Mon  Sec,  and  were  in  action  constantly  until  the  signing  of  the  Armistice 
on  November  11  terminated  operations.  Once  they  were  withdrawn  for  four  days, 
but  went  in  again  at  the  same  point. 

They  supported  with  their  artillery  fire  seven  American  divisions,  the  First, 
Second,  Thirty-second,  Thirty-fifth,  Forty -second,  Eighty-ninth,  and  Ninety-first. 


38 


THIRTY-THIRD  DIVISION 
Tex.,  before  sailing  overseas. 


They  made  a  total  advance  of  sixty  kilometers,  and  tired  16,470  rounds  of 
ammunition.  They  laid  down  one-third  of  all  the  wire  laid  in  the  signal  detail  work 
of  the  First  Battalion  during  the  St.  Mihiel  and  Meuse-Argonne  Offensives.  The 
towns  captured  from  the  enemy  under  their  artillery  fire  were  Very,  Epionville,  Clerge, 
Eclairfontane,  Gesnes,  Romagne,  Bantheville,  Nouart,  Tailly,  Beauclair,  Beaufort, 
Laneuville,  Stenay,  Pouilly,  Inor,  Cervisy,  Cesse,  and  Martincourt. 

They  were  in  the  closing  battle  of  Verdun  and  the  entire  engagement  of  the 
Meuse-Argonne  Offensive,  from  October  26  until  November  11.  After  the  Armistice 
they  served  with  the  Army  of  Occupation.  Battery  A  was  commanded  by  Major 
Charles  E.  Wheeler  of  Springfield  during  its  service. 

Battery  A  was  composed  largely  of  Spr  ngfield  and  Sangainon  county  men. 
Nineteen  of  the  local  officers  and  men  received  citations  for  gallantry  and  bravery  in 
action,  and  several  others  received  Distinguished  Service  Crosses.  Some  of  their  num- 
ber paid  the  Supreme  Penalty,  and  others  will  carry  the  scars  of  wounds  received  in 
action  to  the  last.

OTTIS'  UNIT 

Unit  W,  in  command  of  Lt.  Col.  Daniel  Mortimer  Ottis,  was  organized  by  Dr. 
Ottis  in  Springfield  in  April,  1917.  The  Unit  consisted  of  twelve  doctors,  twenty-one 
registered  nurses,  and  fifty  orderlies.  The  Unit  was  first  organized  under  the  Ameri- 
can Red  Cross,  but  was  federalized  when  complete. 

The  doctors  were  Sangamon  county  physicians.  The  nurses  were  local  nurses  and 
others  nursing  in  the  county.  The  orderlies  were  from  Sangamon  and  neighboring 
counties. 

The  Unit  was  drilled  at  the  State  Arsenal  in  Springfield  for  two  months  by 
Col.  W.  Campbell.  The  orderlies  received  some  training  as  doctors'  helpers  at  St. 
John's  Hospital  in  Springfield.  January  22,  1918,  the  Unit  was  called  to  Ft.  Mc- 
Pherson,  Ga.,  where  it  went  into  training  in  military  service. 

As  a  body,  Unit  W  sailed  overseas  May  11,  1918,  on  the  Ascania,  landing  in 
England.  They  were  stationed  for  short  intervals  in  Liverpool,  London,  Southampton, 
and  Plymouth.  At  Plymouth  they  opened  a  Camp  Hospital.  They  were  then  trans- 
ferred to  Liverpool  and  assigned  to  Camp  Hospital  No.  40,  at  Camp  Knotty  Ash, 
near  Liverpool,  where  they  were  stationed  from  June  4,  1918,  to  May  1,  1919. 

While  at  Camp  Knotty  Ash  they  were  engaged  in  the  hardest  of  work  caused  by 
the  flu  epidemic.  At  this  place  they  lost  three  of  their  members,  Dr.  Frank  D.  Fletcher, 
James  Rollman,  and  Miss  Geneva  Casstevens. 

In  May,  1919,  the  Unit  left  for  the  United  States,  and  were  mustered  out 
at  Camp  Grant,  111.,  May  26,  1919.

The  Medical  Detachment  of  the  130th  Infantry,  Thirty-third  Division,  generally 
known  as  "Tuttle's  Unit,"  was  organized  and  trained  by  Col.  H.  H.  Tuttle  of 
Springfield,  Illinois,  who  also  organized  and  trained  the  Medical  Detachments  of 
the  123rd  and  124th  Machine  Gun  Battalions. 

Tuttle's  Unit  was  recruited  in  Springfield  in  April,  1917,  comprising  men  from 
Springfield  and  vicinity,  and  became  the  Medical  Detachment  of  the  old  Fourth  Illinois 
Infantry.  They  received  training  in  anatomy,  first  aid,  hospital  nursing,  litter  bear- 
ing, dispensary  work,  and  X-Ray  work  at  St.  John's  Hospital.  Their  military  train- 
ing was  given  in  drills  at  the  State  Arsenal  and  hikes. 

Col.  Tuttle  was  summoned  to  Camp  Logan,  Houston,  Tex.,  for  duties  with  the 
Thirty-third  Division,  and  Major  Frank  P.  Auld,  M.  C.  U.  S.  A.,  assumed  command 
of  the  Unit,  being  succeeded  overseas  by  Major  Humphrey,  of  Union,  N.  Y. 

In  September,  1917,  the  Unit  was  transferred  to  Camp  Logan,  Houston,  Tex., 
and  attached  to  the  130th  Infantry,  Thirty-third  Division.  They  remained  at  Camp 
Logan  until  May,  1918,  when  they  sailed  overseas  with  the  Division. 

The  Medical  Detachment  served  with  their  regiment  all  the  time  it  was  in  action, 
working  up  to  the  front  lines.  The  Unit  was  divided,  with  some  members  in  each 
battalion,  and  cared  for  the  wounded  of  their  regiment.  Several  of  the  members  of 
the  Unit  were  cited  for  bravery  in  action. 

After  the  Armistice  they  served  with  the  Army  of  Occupation.

THE  HOMECOiMING  CELEBRATION 

On  June  24,  1919,  Sangamon  County  welcomed  home  her  men  and  women 
who  served  their  country  during  the  great  World  War. 

On  that  day,  glorious  with  sunshine  and  unclouded  skies,  and  thrilling  with  joy 
and  thankfulness  reflected  from  the  hearts  of  the  people,  a  celebration  so  great  and 
spontaneous,  so  happy  and  heartfelt  that  it  outrivaled  every  other  demonstration  which 
took  place  during  the  War,  even  the  sobbing  joy  of  Armistice  Day,  was  held  in 
Springfield.  No  one  who  participated  in  the  celebration  will  ever  forget  it. 

While  all  the  county's  men  had  not  yet  returned,  the  Homecoming  Celebration 
was  held  at  a  time  when  most  of  them  were  back,  and  when  the  greatest  majority  could 
be  present  to  enjoy  it.  The  celebration  was  for  both  men  and  women,  for  white  and 
for  colored,  for  those  in  every  branch  of  the  service.  There  were  more  than  three 
thousand  Soldiers,  Sailors  and  Marines  in  the  great  triumphal  parade,  and  most  of 
the  colored  service  men,  though  only  a  few  of  the  brave  nurses  and  women  in  other  lines 
of  War  Service  had  at  that  time  returned. 

Governor  Frank  O.  Lowden,  whose  only  son  served  with  Sangamon  county  men 
overseas,  headed  the  body  of  Sangamon  county  citizens  who  planned  and  carried 
to  a  successful  consummation  the  proud  event.  And  Governor  Lowden,  with  General 
George  E.  Bell,  Jr.,  commander  of  the  Thirty-third  Division,  "Pride  of  the  Prairie 
State,"  of  which  Company  C  and  Battery  A  were  a  part,  and  Brigadier  General  H.  D. 
Todd,  were  the  speakers  of  the  day. 

The  great  parade  of  service  men  through  the  city  streets  began  the  day,  which 
went  from  one  climax  of  joy  to  another,  from  one  gale  of  happiness  and  outpouring  of 
spontaneous  welcome  to  another  of  laughing,  shouting  gladness.  All  Sangamon  county 
joined  in  the  tribute  to  the  men  who  had  fought  for  us  while  we  prayed  and  worked 
for  them. 

Business  was  suspended,  all  occupation  ceased,  work  on  the  farms  was  at  a 
-tandstill,  and  the  people  of  the  county  turned  with  one  accord  to  Springfield,  as  the 
center  of  the  county's  great  welcome. 

Flags  of  all  the  Allied  nations  adorned  the  courthouse.  Flags  and  bunting  draped 
telephone  poles  and  the  arches  of  the  streets.  Business  houses  had  flags  waving  from 
their  windows  and  everywhere  the  Colors  could  be  placed.  People  had  flags  out  at 
their  homes.  "Welcome"  signs  were  up  in  all  the  windows  and  on  the  streets.  And 
welcome  was  everywhere  in  the  air;  in  the  people's  faces;  in  their  voices;  their  actions; 
their  thoughts  and  their  hearts.  Such  a  welcome  as  made  our  boys  know  how  great 
and  good  it  was  to  serve  and  then  come  back  home. 

The  county's  hospitality  was  poured  at  their  feet.  It  wrapped  them  about  in  a 
mantle  of  love.  It  flowed  from  hearts  that  had  been  near  to  breaking  with  anxiety 
and  pain  and  now  were  almost  bursting  with  joy  and  thanksgiving. 

Homecoming  Day  was  the  day  we  had  all  looked  forward  to  for  so  long,  the  day 
,ve  had  dreamed  of  in  the  dark  time  of  the  War,  when  no  one  knew  or  could  guess 
what  was  coining  next,  when  we  tried  to  bolster  our  courage  by  thinking:  "It  will 
be  over  some  time,  and  then  our  bovs  will  come  home.  And  when  thcv  do  come!" 


47 


And  Homecoming  Day  was  that  day ! 

Through  cheering  thousands  who  laughed  and  even  wept,  who  waved  flags  and 
showered  the  men  with  flowers,  Sangamon  county's  heroes  marched  in  the  great 
triumphal  parade  when,  for  the  first  time,  we  saw  our  own  men  in  uniformed  inarching 
lines.  During  the  War  we  had  been  denied  that  sight.  Other  cities  had  witnessed 
giant  parades  of  Soldiers,  Sailors  and  Marines.  Our  boys  had  marched  in  those  parades. 
But  we  had  not  seen  them.  So  that,  on  Homecoming  Day,  it  was  our  men  who 
marched  in  long  splendid  swinging  lines  through  our  streets  while  we  looked  on  and 
cheered. 

Men  in  Khaki,  men  in  Blue,  men  in  the  Olive  Green  of  the  Marine  Corps,  all 
our  men.  And  hearts  swelled,  and  eyes  filled  with  tears,  while  lips  smiled  and  hands 
waved,  as  they  went  swinging  past. 

When  the  line  of  marchers  swung  out  on  South  Grand  avenue,  they  passed 
through  columns  which  bore  the  insignia  of  every  division  in  colors,  and  under  canopies 
of  flags  and  bunting.  At  Lowell  and  South  Grand  avenues  the  parade  swept  by  the 
reviewing  stand,  and  every  form  was  erect  and  jaunty,  for  on  the  stand  were  Governor 
Lowden,  General  Bell,  and  General  Todd,  with  city  and  county  officials,  to  review 
them  as  they  passed. 

At  Washington  Park,  where  the  parade  ended,  addresses  were  made  by  Governor 
Lowden,  General  Bell  and  General  Todd,  with  Captain  Carl  U.  Luers  acting  as 
chairman.  During  these  ceremonies  a  hush  fell  while  tribute  was  paid  to  the  memory 
of  the  men  who  died  in  camp  or  in  action,  paying  the  full  meed  of  sacrifice  to  the 
Goddess  of  Liberty,  lifting  high  her  torch  to  light  Humanity's  way. 

The  Memorial  services  were  impressive  and  unique.  A  deep  toned  gun  fired  a 
bomb  high  into  the  air.  The  bomb  exploded  and  Old  Glory  unfurled  to  the  breeze. 
As  the  Stars  and  Stripes  found  a  place  in  the  sun,  Bugler  Hildreth  Davis  sounded 
"Taps". 

As  the  last  note  of  the  bugle  died  away,  twenty  salutes  were  fired.  After  the 
salutes,  bombs  were  fired  into  the  air,  each  one  exploding  and  releasing  ten  silk  flags 
attached  to  parachutes,  each  flag  bearing  a  star  for  a  service  man  who  gave  his  life 
for  his  country.  These  flags  floated  over  the  heads  of  the  crowd  assembled  in  memory 
of  those  who  were  gone. 

Bronze  medals  were  then  presented  to  the  families  of  the  Gold  Star  men,  each 
medal  giving  the  name  and  service  record  of  the  man  it  honored.  At  trie  close  of  the 
ceremony  another  large  silk  American  flag  was  shot  into  the  air  and  floated  out  as  a 
glorious  symbol  of  the  sacrifice  the  dead  heroes  had  made.  So  did  Sangamon  county 
honor  the  men  who  made  the  supreme  sacrifice. 

Boxing  and  wrestling  matches  were  staged  during  the  afternoon  for  the  entertain- 
ment of  the  men,  and  games  of  every  sort,  in  which  they  participated  or  looked  on, 
as  they  desired. 

Then  followed  a  banquet  which,  more  than  anything  else,  "touched  the  spot" 
Every  part  of  the  county  donated  the  requisites  to  this  banquet,  and  the  women  of 
each  township  were  proud  to  serve  it. 


48 


In  the  evening  a  magnificent  display  of  fireworks  was  given,  and  the  celebration 
then  turned  into  a  dance  in  which  thousands  of  people  took  part.  Several  blocks 
on  the  smooth  boulevard  of  South  Grand  avenue  were  given  over  to  the  dancing  space, 
with  bands  stationed  at  intervals  to  furnish  the  gay  dancing  strains.  This  was  a  scene 
which  will  long  be  remembered.  The  avenue  was  brilliantly  lighted  and  decorated. 
And  while  hundreds  of  couples  moved  about  in  the  steps  of  the  dances,  thousands  more 
stood  on  the  sidewalks  on  all  sides  and  looked  on. 

The  colored  service  men  who  had  turned  out  of  the  parade  after  it  passed  the 
reviewing  stand,  were  banqueted  and  feted  in  the  Arsenal,  where  they  enjoyed  dancing 
in  the  evening.  And  nothing  was  spared  to  give  them  the  "Welcome"  which  their 
splendid  record  as  fighters  deserved. 

The  organization  which  staged  and  directed  the  Homecoming  Celebration  so  suc- 
cessfully, comprised  the  following  people,  chairmen  and  members  of  committees:

LINCOLN 

One  of  America's  greatest  contributions  to  the  forces  which  successfully  defeated 
the  Autocracy  of  Germany  was  the  Spirit  of  Lincoln  which  went  overseas  with  our 
boys  and  led  them  through  horror  and  bloodshed  to  the  clear  victory  of  Right  and 
Justice. 

Lincoln  was  a  name  familiar  alike  to  American  and  French,  English  and  Italian, 
and  meant  as  much  to  the  Allies  as  to  the  people  of  the  country  which  gave  the  Great 

* 

Emancipator  to  the  World.     But  his  Spirit  seemed  to  be  the  bright  particular  shield 
for  the  Armies  of  America,  and  his  Name  their  clarion  call. 

His  words  formed  the  text  of  many  a  speech  from  a  commander  to  his  men,  and 
his  great  utterances  which  could  never  be  confined  to  the  time  in  which  they  were 
spoken,  held  as  much  of  message  and  strength  during  the  World  War  as  in  the  turmoil 
of  that  other  war  which  called  them  forth. 

It  seemed,  sometimes,  that  from  his  silent  tomb  in  Springfield,  in  Illinois,  in 
America,  his  Spirit  was  In  Command,  leading  the  Forces  of  Right  to  Victory  over 
the  Hordes  of  the  Hun. 

His  Name  and  his  Spirit,  Flaglike,  were  the  Standards  of  Democracy  flung  free 
to  the  winds  of  the  World.

LINCOLN'S  TOMB 

The  Tomb   and   Monument  in  Oak  Ridge   Cemetery  were  the  mecca  of  many  great  War 
heroes  and  leaders  during  the  World   War.

THE  AMERICAN  LEGION  IN 
SANGAMON  COUNTY 


The  American  Legion  was  organized  in  Sangamon  county  in  June,  1919,  with  a 
central  Post,  Sangamon  Post  No.  32,  in  Springfield,  and  branch  posts  in  the  other 
towns  of  the  county. 

Lieut.  Col.  Owsley  Brown  was  elected  the  First  Commander  of  Sangamon  Post 
No.  32,  and  Sergeant  Earl  B.  Searcy  the  First  Adjutant.  They  served  as  officers  of  the 
Post  until  the  organization  was  perfected,  at  which  time  the  first  complete  roster  of 
officers  were  named. 

Lieut.  Col.  H.  H.  Tuttle  was  elected  Commander;  Captain  Herbert  W.  Styles, 
First  Vice  Commander;  Second  Lieut.  Joseph  A.  Londrigan,  Second  Vice  Com- 
mander; Corp.  Cleveland  C.  Bierman,  Adjutant.  Other  Officers  elected  were: 

Pvt.  G.  D.  Childs,  Chaplain. 

Pvt.  Russell  B.  Liedel,  Sergeant-at-Arms. 

First  Lieut.  J.  T.  Wood   (Dr.),  Rehabilitation  Officer. 

Pvt.  Raymond  Goodrich,  Employment  Officer. 

Executive  Committee:  Captain  Carl  U.  Luers,  Chairman;  Pvt.  Merrill  M. 
Emerick,  Secretary;  P.  L.  Owens,  Capt.  Walter  F.  Day,  Capt.  Edward  S.  Perry,  Sgt. 
Charles  S.  Dines. 

American  Legion: 

The  purpose  and  scope  of  the  American  Legion  is  well  set  forth  in  the  following, 
written  by  Sgt.  Earl  B.  Searcy,  member  of  Sangamon  Post  No.  32,  and  State  Adjutant 

THE  AMERICAN  LEGION— A  PATRIOTIC  AFTERMATH  OF  WAR 

There  never  was  any  doubt  in  the  minds  of  the  men  who  donned  the  uniform  of 
the  United  States  Army,  Navy  and  Marine  Corps — and  of  the  women,  too — that, 
after  the  war,  some  sort  of  a  huge  and  influential  organization  of  "buddies"  would 
come  from  those  who  survived  the  conflict. 

It  was  inevitable,  this  idea.  Thus,  when  a  small  group  of  men  and  officers  from 
among  the  several  divisions  and  organizations  in  France  met  in  Paris  in  March,  1919, 
to  lay  tentative  plans  for  suggesting  to  the  service  people  that  they  get  together  in  a 
post-war  fraternity,  it  did  not  take  long  for  the  notion  to  take  hold.  Obviously,  a  few 
individuals,  no  matter  how  high  their  ideals,  could  not  assume  to  organize  the  more 
than  four  millions  of  men  and  women.  Ships  were,  by  that  time,  bringing  back  our 
warriors,  so  it  was  decided  that  a  caucus  of  national  scope  would  be  the  best  means  by 
which  to  launch  the  big  idea.  This  "caucus"  was  held  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  May  8-10, 
1919.  Eleven  hundred  service  people  from  every  state  in  the  Union  and  from  every 
territory,  attended  that  memorable  meeting.  It  was  really  a  convention,  and  an  en- 
thusiastic one. 

The  name,  "The  American  Legion,"  had  been  long  pondered.  This  caucus- 
convention  adopted  it,  provisionally.  November,  1919,  was  set  as  the  month  in  which 


64 


to  hold  the  first  bona  fide  convention,  and  Minneapolis,  Minnesota,  was  determined 
upon  as  the  place. 

Which  brings  us  to  Illinois'  participation  in  the  big  movement.  One  hundred 
and  twelve  service  men  went  to  that  St.  Louis  meeting  to  see  what  the  plan  was  and 
to  get  information  for  future  work.  Practically  all  of  them  were  voluntary  delegates. 
Out  of  this  112  grew  the  temporary  state  organization,  with  George  G.  Seaman,  of 
Taylorville,  as  its  chairman,  and  Earl  B.  Searcy,  of  Springfield,  as  its  secretary.  The 
plan  was  to  divide  up  between  the  commissioned  and  enlisted  personnel.  Seaman  rep- 
resented the  former,  the  secretary  the  latter.  Chicago  was  picked  as  temporary  state 
headquarters  and  the  work  was  on.  Struggles  through  the  summer  and  fall  months 
of  1919,  mainly  financial,  led  up  to  October  17  and  18,  when  all  posts  then  formed, 
and  all  service  men  and  women  who  would  and  could,  were  assembled  at  Peoria  to 
hold  the  first  State  Convention.  At  that  convention,  former  Colonel  Milton  J. 
Foreman,  of  Chicago,  was  elected  first  State  Commander,  and  former  Sergeant  Earl  B. 
Searcy  was  elected  first  State  Adjutant.  William  R.  McCauley,  a  tank  corps  buck 
private  of  Olney,  was  named  Vice  Commander. 

At  the  time  of  the  State  Convention  there  were  220  posts  of  The  American 
Legion  in  Illinois.  At  date  of  this  writing  (April  27,  1920,)  there  are  615  posts. 
This  visualizes  the  growth  and  the  spread  of  the  Legion  influence,  due  to  its  sterling 
doctrines  of  Americanism,  and  its  avowed  determination  to  take  care,  first,  of  the  men 
who  came  back  from  war  with  disabilities,  and,  second,  of  the  ex-service  men  at  large. 

The  American  Legion  felt,  from  the  outset,  that  danger  would  come  from  re- 
actionary, un-American  groups  unless  curbed.  Chiefly  for  that  reason,  it  picked  as  its 
motto,  "One  Hundred  Per  Cent  Americanism."  Not  that  the  Legion  feels  that  it 
has  a  corner  on  Americanism.  About  a  hundred  million  other  citizens  of  this  country — 
citizens  who  backed  the  boys  to  the  limit  with  money  and  moral  support — have  just  as 
valid  a  claim  to  the  slogan  as  the  Legionaires. 

The  Legion  is  builded  upon  a  solid  foundation,  with  sterling  Americanism  at  the 
basis  of  it  all.  It  does  not  propose  to  rule  the  destinies  of  the  country  it  helped  to 
defend,  but  it  expects  in  the  coming  decades,  to  wield  a  powerful  influence  toward 
this  end.  In  order  so  to  do,  it  realizes  the  absolute  necessity  of  securing  and  maintain- 
ing the  esteem  and  the  confidence  of  the  American  public. 

The  Legion  in  Illinois  is  moving  forward  with  great  strides.  In  a  few  short 
years  its  organization  problems  will  have  been  settled,  in  a  large  measure,  and  it  will 
then  be  the  Legion's  mission  to  play  the  role  intended  for  it — that  of  seeing  that  America 
is  kept  safe  and  secure  for  a  democratized  form  of  government,  and  for  Americans.

SELECTIVE  SERVICE  DRAFT 
BOARDS 

The  work  of  selecting  the  men  from  Sangamon  county  for  the  National  Army 
under  the  selective  service  ruling  was  handled  by  three  Selective-Service  Draft  Boards 
and  one  District  Appeal  Board. 

The  District  Appeal  Board  for  Division  Number  One,  of  the  Southern  District 
of  Illinois,  had  its  headquarters  at  the  State  Arsenal  in  Springfield,  and  a  number  of 
Sangamon  county  men  served  on  this  board,  with  jurisdiction,  in  all  appeal  cases,  over 
Sangamon  and  neighboring  counties. 

The  Sangamon  County  Exemption  Board,  with  jurisdiction  over  the  county  out- 
side City  of  Springfield,  had  headquarters  at  611  East  Capitol  avenue,  Springfield. 

The  North  City  Exemption  Board,  or  Board  No.  2,  as  it  was  known,  had  head- 
quarters in  the  Illinois  National  Bank  building,  Springfield,  and  the  South  City  Board, 
or  Board  No.  1,  had  headquarters  in  the  Booth  building,  Springfield. 

When  the  work  of  organizing  the  Draft  Boards  began,  Alvin  P.  Bickenbach  of 
Illiopolis,  Dr.  T.  A.  McTaggart  of  Pawnee,  and  Ben  F.  Caldwell  of  Chatham,  were 
appointed  to  serve  on  the  Sangamon  County  Exemption  Board,  June  25,  1917.  Mr. 
Caldwell  was  unable  to  serve,  and  Adjutant  General  Frank  S.  Dickson  ordered  that 
the  remaining  two  members  organize  the  board,  as  it  was  necessary  for  all  boards  to 
be  organized  and  every  registrant  ass  gned  a  number  before  the  drawing  of  numbers 
could  take  place. 

Accordingly  the  County  Board  was  organized  with  Alvin  P.  Bickenbach  as  Chair- 
man, and  Dr.  T.  A.  McTaggart  as  Secretary.  The  Farmers  State  Bank  donated  the 
use  of  their  Directors'  room  as  the  meeting  place  of  the  board,  and  George  E.  Keys 
assisted  the  board  members  through  their  first  hard  work,  which  had  been  retarded 
by  inability  to  secure  the  appointment  of  the  third  member  of  the  board. 

Two  weeks  later  Dr.  J.  M.  Bell  of  Rochester  was  appointed  as  the  third  member 
of  the  board,  and  the  board  was  reorganized  with  Alvin  P.  Bickenbach.  Chairman; 
Dr.  J.  M.  Bell,  Secretary ;  and  Dr.  T.  A.  McTaggart,  Examining  Physician. 

The  South  City  Board,  No.  1,  began  work  at  the  same  time,  simultaneous  with 
the  appointment  of  the  board  members.  Jacob  Bunn  was  elected  Chairman,  Philip 
Barton  Warren,  Secretary,  and  Dr.  Don  W.  Deal,  Examining  Physician.  Head- 
quarters 504  Booth  Building. 

North  City  Board,  No.  2,  also  appointed  at  the  same  time  and  beginning  activities 
immediately,  took  up  headquarters  in  Room  17,  Illinois  National  Bank  Building. 
John  H.  McCreery  was  elected  Chairman,  George  M.  Brinkerhoff,  Secretary,  and  Dr. 
L.  C.  Taylor,  Examining  Physician. 

The  first  Registration  of  men,  ages  21  to  31,  inclusive,  was  held  June  5,  1917, 
pursuant  to  the  Act  of  May  18,  1917,  and  was  held  under  the  direct  supervision  of 
County  Clerk  Charles  W.  Byers,  County  Sheriff  Dr.  J.  A.  Wheeler,  and  County 
Judge  J.  B.  Weaver. 


70 


On  May  30,  1918,  Congress  passed  a  joint  resolution  requiring  the  registration 
of  all  males  who  had  attained  the  age  of  21  years  since  June  5,  1917,  on  or  before 
the  day  set  by  the  President  for  their  registration.  The  second  registration  was  held 
June  5,  1918,  and  August  24,  1918,  and  was  held  by  each  of  the  local  boards  in  their 
respective  headquarters. 

The  third  registration  of  men  of  the  ages  of  18  to  20,  and  32  to  45,  inclusive,  was 
held  September  12,  1918,  under  the  direct  supervision  of  the  three  local  boards.  These 
boards  designated  the  various  voting  places  of  the  county  as  the  registration  places,  and 
appointed  the  men  who  acted  as  chief  registrars  and  assistants.

IN  FLANDERS  FIELDS 

(By  Lieutenant  John  McRae  of  Montreal,  whose  body  lies  in  Flanders  Fields.) 


In  Flanders  fields  the  poppies  blow 
Between  the  crosses,  row  on  row, 

That  mark  our  place;  and  in  the  sky 

The  larks,  still  bravely  singing,  fly, 
Scarce  heard  amidst  the  guns  below. 
We  are  the  dead.  Short  days  ago  S3 

We  lived,  felt  dawn,  saw  sunset  glow, 

Loved  and  were  loved,  and  now  we  lie 
In  Flanders  fields. 

Take  up  our  quarrel  with  the  foe! 
To  you  from  falling  hands,  we  throw 

The  torch.    Be  yours  to  hold  it  high! 

If  ye  break  faith  with  us  who  die 
We  shall  not  sleep  though  poppies  grow 

In  Flanders  fields.

J.  FRANK  MACPHERSON 

Secretary    Executive    Committee,    San- 
gamon  County  Council  of  Defense 


In  relating  the  history  of  Sangamon  county's  war  activities,  it  must  be  stated  that 
the  first  big  comprehensive  organization  to  spring  into  existence  was  the  Sangamon 
County  Chapter  of  the  American  Red  Cross.  Into  this  organization  were  drawn  the 
active  workers  of  the  county. 

Then  came  the  Liberty  Loan  organization,  which  drew  upon  the  organization  of 
the  Red  Cross  for  its  active  workers,  with  some  changes  in  the  personnel. 

Soon  thereafter  the  Council  of  National  Defense  sprang  up  in  every  county  of 
ever}'  state  in  the  Union.  The  Sangamon  County  Auxiliary  of  the  State  Council  of 
Defense  was  organized,  drawing  for  its  personnel  largely  upon  the  framework  of  the 
Red  Cross  and  Liberty  Loan  organizations.  Under  the  direction  of  Edward  F.  Irwin, 
chairman  of  the  Sangamon  County  Auxiliary,  Logan  Hay,  chairman  of  the  Executive 
Committee,  and  J.  Frank  Macpherson,  secretary  of  the  Executive  Committee,  all  the 
war  agencies  in  Sangamon  county  were  amalgamated  in  one  single  committee,  the  War 
Work  Bureau,  with  headquarters  in  the  Sangamo  Club  in  Springfield. 

The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Sangamon  County  Auxiliary  of  the  State  Council 
of  Defense  was  as  follows:  Logan  Hay,  chairman;  J.  Frank  Macpherson,  secretary; 
Edward  F.  Irwin,  chairman  of  the  Auxiliary  Committee;  Henry  Merriam,  chairman 
Finance  Committee;  James  M.  Graham,  chairman  Neighborhood  Committee;  Jerome 
A.  Leland,  chairman  Food  Production  Committee;  Col.  Henry  Davis,  chairman  Boys' 
Working  Reserve;  Mrs.  Stuart  Brown,  chairman  Woman's  Auxiliary;  Mrs.  A.  J. 
Mitchell,  county  chairman  Woman's  Auxiliary;  Harry  A.  Converse,  County  Fuel 
Administrator;  James  A.  Easley,  chairman  County  Liberty  Loan;  Sidney  S.  Breese, 
chairman  Four  Minute  Men;  George  B.  Stadden,  chairman  Sangamon  County  Chapter 
Red  Cross;  Robert  C.  Lanphier,  chairman  Supply  Committee,  Red  Cross;  Dr.  T.  J. 
Knudson,  chairman  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Committee;  Robert  W.  Troxell,  chairman  War  Camp 
Community  Service;  Logan  Coleman,  County  Food  Administrator;  W.  L.  Patton, 
member  County  Auxiliary;  Dr.  C.  A.  Frazee,  president  Loyal  League;  Mrs.  Olive  B. 
Wheeland,  chairman  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Committee;  William  H.  Conkling,  chairman  War 
Savings  Stamps  Committee;  S.  E.  Prather,  Farm  Labor  Administrator;  B.  L.  Catron, 
chairman  Legal  Advisory  Board. 

In  the  townships,  the  work  for  the  Council  of  Defense  was  done  largely  under  the 
direction  of  the  Neighborhood  Committee,  the  township  chairmen  being  for  the  most 
part  the  same  township  chairmen  who  served  with  the  Red  Cross  and  Liberty  Loan. 

The  Sangamon  County  Auxiliary  of  the  State  Council  of  Defense  closed  its  work 
January  1,  1919.

The  history  of  the  Sangamon  County  Chapter  of  the  American  Red  Cross  is  con- 
tained in  the  final  report  of  the  Chapter  dated  May  1,  1919,  and  forwarded  to  the 
National  Headquarters,  A.  R.  C.  The  report  follows: 

I.     INTRODUCTION 

In  August,  1916,  a  small  group  of  women  met  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  William  T. 
Lewis  in  Springfield  to  further  the  call  of  the  National  Red  Cross  Membership  cam- 
paign. They  were  successful  in  adding  1,300  new  names,  and  sent  a  check  for  $1,300 
to  Washington.  In  the  light  of  today  such  a  sum  of  money  seems  a  mere  bagatelle, 
but  it  was  unusual  enough  then  to  call  for  a  special  letter  of  thanks  and  the  assurance 
that  the  officers  present  in  the  building  had  all  come  to  look  at  that  check — and  Spring- 
field was  urged  to  form  a  chapter. 

Early  in  February,  1917,  a  petition  was  sent  to  the  National  Red  Cross  Society 
at  Washington  asking  permission  to  organize  a  local  chapter,  this  petition  having  been 
signed  by  twelve  representative  citizens,  as  follows:  Mrs.  Frank  O.  Lowden,  Miss 
Margaret  Bergen,  Mrs.  Gaylord  Davidson,  Logan  Hay,  Robert  C.  Lanphier,  Col. 
Henry  Davis,  Mrs.  C.  C.  Brown,  Mrs.  William  T.  Lewis,  Mrs.  George  F.  Stericker, 
Rev.  George  T.  Gunter,  Mrs.  John  McCreery. 


1125 


In  February,  1917,  temporary  officers  and  committees  were  named  and  a  few 
weeks  later  at  a  mass  meeting  of  all  members  of  the  Red  Cross  a  board  of  directors  was 
elected.  On  March  19,  1917,  at  a  meeting  of  these  directors,  permanent  officers  of 
the  chapter  were  chosen,  and  an  executive  committee  appointed.  The  first  meeting  of 
this  committee  was  held  March  27,  1917,  at  which  the  following  committees  were 
named :  First  Aid  Committee,  Committee  for  Destitute  Families,  Hospital  Supplies, 
and  Committee  to  secure  building  for  work  shop. 

On  March  30,  1917,  the  Springfield  Chapter,  having  complied  with  all  rules  of 
the  National  Red  Cross  Society,  was  declared  duly  organized,  having  for  its  jurisdiction 
all  of  Sangamon  County,  Illinois.  The  name,  however,  was  changed  to  that  of  the 
Sangamon  County  Chapter  on  October  15,  1917. 

On  April  18,  1917,  a  meeting  of  the  directors  was  called  to  arrange  for  a  mem- 
bership campaign  which  opened  early  in  May  under  the  chairmanship  of  Lewis  N. 
Wiggins,  resulting  in  a  membership  of  about  11,000,  which  was  increased  during 
the  year  to  12,980.  With  this  large  increase  in  membership,  and  as  War  had  been 
declared,  entirely  new  conditions  confronted  the  Chapter,  and  on  May  14,  1917,  com- 
mittees to  take  care  of  impending  needs  were  organized  as  follows :  Finance  Committee, 
Purchasing  Committee,  Supplies  and  Distribution  of  Work,  Organization  of  Branches 
and  Auxiliaries,  and  Chairman  of  Woman's  Work.

Something  about  the  men  and  women  who  served  as  heads  of  the  Red  Cross 
committees : 

Mrs.  C.  C.  Brown,  prominently  identified  with  all  organizations  for  social  and 
civic  betterment,  was  a  tireless  worker  in  the  Red  Cross  organization  from  the 
time  of  its  inception  to  the  date  of  her  death,  helping  in  the  upbuilding  of  the  Chapter, 
and  spent  much  time  in  its  work  rooms. 

Robert  C.  Lanphier,  secretary  and  general  manager  of  a  big  business  institution, 
and  president  of  the  Springfield  Commercial  Association,  was  of  invaluable  service 
to  the  Red  Cross  Chapter,  looking  after  all  purchases  during  the  entire  period  of  the 
War,  and  superintending  the  finances  of  the  Chapter,  as  well  as  acting  as  general 
counsellor  in  all  undertakings  of  the  Chapter. 

At  least  a  word  of  praise  should  be  given  to  the  business  concern  he  represented, 
which  donated  during  the  entire  period  of  the  War  the  services  of  its  employees  in 
packing  and  shipping  all  finished  articles  which  were  sent  out  from  the  Chapter,  and 
saved  the  Chapter  hundreds  of  dollars  in  drayage. 

Mrs.  B.  H.  Ferguson  served  on  the  board  of  directors  and  also  as  chairman  of  the 
Edwards  Place  Auxiliary,  devoting  her  time  to  the  Chapter  unstintedly. 

Logan  H.  Coleman,  who  during  the  War  also  served  as  County  Food  Adminis- 
trator, a  heavy  work  in  itself,  served  as  treasurer  of  the  Red  Cross  Chapter. 

Mrs.  Will  Taylor  very  efficiently  and  faithfully  performed  the  duties  of  secretary 
from  the  time  the  Chapter  was  formed  until  her  resignation,  and  also  lent  valuable 
assistance  during  membership  drives,  War  Fund  campaigns,  and  such  enterprises. 

Miss  Julia  Tarrent  was  appointed  office  manager  when  permanent  headquarters 
were  established  in  Springfield,  July  15,  1917,  and  very  competently  handled  its  busi- 
riess  affairs  from  that  time  to  date,  in  addition  to  acting  as  secretary  of  the  Chapter 
following  the  resignation  of  Mrs.  Taylor. 

Dr.  Charles  L.  Patton  held  his  position  with  the  Chapter  from  the  time  of  the 
organization  of  his  committee  until  he  entered  the  service  in  August,  1918.  He  was 
ably  assisted  by  Miss  Kate  Lewis,  until  she  herself  went  to  France. 

Mrs.  Henry  Davis,  prominent  in  civic  affairs  in  the  city  for  a  number  of  years, 
rendered  most  faithful  and  efficient  service  in  charge  of  the  Canteen  Committee.  She 
gave  practically  her  entire  time  to  the  committee  work  and  had  entire  management  of  it. 

O.  G.  Scott  and  William  H.  Conkling  had  served  on  the  Civilian  Relief  Com- 
mittee during  the  Mexican  trouble,  and  were  therefore  eminently  fitted  for  service  on 
the  Home  Service  section  of  the  Red  Cross.  Other  members  of  this  committee  were 
Stuart  Brown,  Robert  C.  Lanphier,  Fred  Wanless,  and  Jesse  K.  Payton.  They  de- 
serve great  credit  for  the  good  accomplished  in  this  line  of  work. 

Mrs.  John  C.  Lanphier  was  one  of  the  first  chairmen  appointed,  and  from  the 
beginning  of  the  work  was  never  absent  from  her  post,  working  most  untiringly,  five 
days  and  two  nights  of  each  week,  and  retired  only  when  the  work  ceased  to  be  assigned. 

Lewis  N.  Wiggins  gave  excellent  service  on  his  committee  until  his  resignation 
on  November  20,  1917,  when  he  was  made  chairman  of  the  membership  drive  of  the 
Central  Division  of  the  Red  Cross,  and  later  became  associate  manager  of  the  Central 
Division,  with  personal  supervision  of  the  Bureau  of  Development,  with  headquarters 
in  Chicago.  He  was  also  associate  manager  of  the  Second  War  Fund  campiagn. 

Edgar  S.  Barnes,  treasurer  of  a  big  insurance  company,  was  an  arduous  worker 
with  the  Chapter  from  the  time  of  its  formation,  accomplishing  wonderful  results  on 
his  committees. 


1127 


A.  D.  Mackie  also  rendered  the  Chapter  valuable  assistance,  donating  part  of  his 
company's  storeroom,  and  also  donating  the  time  and  services  of  his  employees  in 
handling  Red  Cross  supplies  during  his  term  of  office. 

Mrs.  Philip  Barton  Warren  and  Mrs.  William  R.  Vredenburgh  did  excellent 
work  in  their  departments,  keeping  their  shops  open  not  only  during  the  day  but  for 
night  classes  for  business  women.  They  were  most  efficient  and  devoted. 

III.     ORGANIZATION 

The  original  Canteen  Committee  was  organized  August  30,  1917,  and  was  com- 
posed of  William  L.  Patton,  chairman;  John  A.  Barber,  Charles  S.  Dines  and  Carl 
Klaholt.  These  gentlemen  did  excellent  work  and  served  troop  trains,  starting  in 
the  spring  of  1918.  As  war  progressed,  however,  some  of  them  were  called  to  the 
Army,  the  troop  trains  increased,  and  early  in  September,  1918,  the  Canteen  Depart- 
ment was  entirely  re-organized  with  Mrs.  Henry  Davis  as  chairman  and  a  corps  of  72 
active  workers,  properly  registered,  who  met  all  troop  trains  as  well  as  regular  trains 
passing  through  the  city  and  served  doughnuts,  cigarettes,  chocolate,  post  cards,  etc., 
to  the  soldiers.  Since  the  new  organization,  up  to  May  1st,  a  total  of  15,965  men 
have  been  served,  621  gallons  of  coffee,  and  1 1,204  sandwiches  having  been  used. 

A  Canteen  hut  with  well  equipped  kitchen,  rest  room,  etc.,  was  fitted  up  and  the 
work  of  this  committee,  which  is  still  going  on,  could  hardly  be  excelled.  There  are 
at  present  50  or  60  active  workers  serving  returning  soldiers. 

The  Home  Service  Section  also  did  exceptionally  good  work  under  the  able 
direction  of  Miss  Margaret  Bergen,  secretary,  who  was  superintendent  of  the  Asso- 
ciated Charities  in  Springfield  for  a  number  of  years  and  especially  well  fitted  for  this 
particular  line.  When  Miss  Bergen  resigned  and  left  Springfield  for  Louisville,  Ky., 
she  was  succeeded  in  the  work  by  Miss  M.  Alice  Hill,  who  had  been  assistant  to  Miss 
Bergen  and  who  had  been  trained  by  her  in  all  her  excellent  methods  of  work,  having 
since  carried  on  the  work  most  efficiently. 

Number  of  families  dealt  with  to  May  1,  1919 1,067 

Number  of  families  receiving  relief  to  May  1,  1919 152 

Money  expended  on  relief  to  May  1,  1919 $5,402.93 

At  each  of  the  State  Fairs  held  here  in  the  fall  of  1917  and  1918,  the  Sangamon 
County  Chapter  had  an  excellent  exhibit,  the  first  having  been  under  the  chairmanship 
of  Mrs.  William  R.  Vredenburgh  and  the  second  under  the  management  of  Mrs. 
William  T.  Lewis.  These  exhibits  covered  a  display  of  the  various  activities  of  the 
Chapter,  including  knitting,  sewing,  instructions  in  surgical  dressings,  Canteen,  First 
Aid,  etc.,  and  did  much  towards  stimulating  interest  and  enthusiasm  in  Red  Cross  work. 

IV.     METHODS  OF  WORK 

The  local  Chapter  organized  25  Branches  and  43  Auxiliaries  with  permanent 
headquarters  and  offices  in  Springfield,  111.,  of  which  Miss  Julia  Tarrent  had  the 
active  management.  Many  of  the  churches  had  Auxiliaries,  the  Edwards  Place 
carried  on  a  most  successful  workroom  and  the  Ursuline  Convent  had  a  large  and 
enthusiastic  working  contingent.  The  Public  Schools  opened  their  doors  to  the  women 
of  their  neighborhoods  and  both  teachers  and  students  gave  cordial  co-operation.  The 
Masonic  Temple  kindly  housed  the  surgical  dressings  department  and  the  Lincoln 
Library  gave  us  a  workroom.  The  Branches  likewise  reported  a  most  cordial  co- 
operation and  kindly  feeling  at  all  points. 

Too  much  praise  cannot  be  given  to  those  devoted  women  who  toiled  early  and 
late  at  the  meetings  of  Branches  and  Auxiliaries.  To  each  of  these  gatherings  an 
official  inspector  was  assigned,  who  carefully  overlooked  each  garment  and  surgical 
dressings  before  it  was  sent  to  headquarters  to  be  packed.  There  a  second  group  of 
women  subjected  the  work  to  an  almost  microscopic  examination  and  so  skillful 
did  the  workers  become  that  to  say  the  work  had  come  from  such  and  such  a  Branch 
or  Auxiliary  was  tantamount  to  saying  it  was  perfect. 

V.     RECORD  OF  THE  WORK 

The  Sangamon  County  Red  Cross  Soc'ety  was  called  on  for  service  other  than  war 
work.  During  the  summer  of  1917,  Illinois  was  visited  by  a  terrible  tornado  which 


1128 


struck  the  towns  of  Charleston  and  JVlattoon.  Central  Division  telegraphed  Spring- 
field, and  within  a  few  hours,  Miss  Margaret  Bergen,  secretary  of  the  Home  Service 
Department,  was  at  the  scene  of  disaster  with  nurses,  medicines,  surgical  dressings, 
and  all  the  appliances  possible  for  the  alleviation  of  their  distress. 

During  the  influenza  epidemic,  the  Chapter  opened  two  Emergency  Hospitals,  both 
of  which  were  under  the  general  supervision  and  direction  of  Robert  C.  Lanphier,  who, 
with  his  able  corps  of  nurses  and  assistants,  accomplished  wonderful  results. 

The  first  hospital  opened  October  15,  1918,  continuing  until  November  14,  1918, 
and  was  in  charge  of  Mrs.  John  Caldwell,  with  Miss  Catherine  Matheus,  R.  N., 
as  head  of  the  nursing  staff. 

The  second  hospital  opened  December  10,  1918,  operating  until  January  22,  1919, 
and  was  under  the  management  of  Mrs.  W.  Frank  Workman,  with  Miss  Catherine 
Matheus,  R.  N.,  in  charge  of  nurses. 

These  hospitals  cared  for  a  total  of  318  patients.  Total  cost  of  both  hospitals, 
$8,299.52,  with  receipts  of  $1,382.83,  in  addition  to  which  the  city  and  county  paid 
part  of  the  expenses,  amounting  to  approximately  $1,500. 

Much  of  the  equipment  for  both  these  hospitals  was  loaned  by  the  State  Board  of 
Agriculture  from  the  Domestic  Science  School,  the  local  hospitals  were  very  generous, 
and  the  Red  Cross  purchased  what  was  lacking. 

Besides  the  original  membership  campaign  shortly  after  the  entrance  of  the  United 
States  into  the  war,  the  local  Chapter  had  two  Membership  Roll  Calls,  the  first  open- 
ing December  17,  1917,  under  the  chairmanship  of  Stuart  Brown,  when  31,102  mem- 
bers were  secured,  which,  with  5,000  old  memberships  not  expired,  made  the  total 
membership  at  the  close  of  the  campaign,  March  31,  1918,  36,102. 

The  second  Membership  Campaign  opened  December  17,  1918,  under  the  Chair- 
manship of  E.  R.  Cogswell,  when  35,763  adult  and  junior  members  were  secured.  The 
membership  of  the  Chapter  May  1,  1919,  is  35,942. 

There  were  two  War  Fund  drives.  The  first  started  June  22,  1917,  of  which 
Judge  J  Otis  Humphrey  was  chairman.  Quota  assigned  Sangamon  county,  $90,000; 
amount  subscribed,  $99,158.07;  amount  collected,  $90,979.71;  cost  of  campaign, 
$2,046.99. 

The  second  campaign  opened  May  20,  1918,  Robert  C.  Lanphier,  chairman. 
Quota  assigned  Sangamon  county,  $90,000  (this  amount  voluntarily  raised  to 
$100,000)  ;  amount  subscribed,  $139,482.10 ;  amount  collected  to  May  1,  $132,962.37; 
cost  of  campaign,  $1,571.47.

VI.     GENERAL 

The  Sangamon  County  Chapter  is  still  in  active  operation  and  while  some  of  its 
Branches  and  Auxiliaries  have  closed  their  workrooms,  a  good  many  of  them  are  still 
holding  their  weekly  meetings,  sewing  and  knitting  for  the  refugees,  shipments  being 
made  from  the  Chapter  Headquarters  each  week.  There  has  been  nothing  but  the 
heartiest  co-operation  on  the  part  of  all  the  Chapter  organizations  and  a  spirit  of 
thorough  willingness  and  obedience  to  rules  and  regulations  has  been  evident  every- 
where. 

This  report  would  by  no  means  be  complete  if  special  mention  was  not  made 
of  George  B.  Stadden,  the  most  untir.'ng  chairman.  A  very  busy  man,  head  of  a  great 
corporation,  he  gave  unstinted  service  not  only  to  his  home  Chapter,  but  to  the  Central 
Division,  having  been  on  their  advisory  board  during  several  administrations,  and  was 
called  to  Washington  in  conference  on  the  First  War  Fund  Campaign  for  the  State 


1129 


of  Illinois,  and  served  as  Associate  Director  for  the  1918  Christmas  Roll  Call  for  the 
Central  Division.  We  owe  to  him  most  hearty  thanks  for  any  and  all  of  the  success 
of  our  work.

RED  CROSS  CANTEEN  SERVICE 

The  Red  Cross  Canteen  Committee,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Henry  Davis, 
chairman,  served  troop  trains  both  during  the  War  and  after  the  Armistice  was  signed. 
Before  the  Armistice,  when  the  movement  of  troops  was  secret,  the  Canteen  committee 
alone  would  receive  information  regarding  the  passage  of  troop  trains  through  the  city. 


1131

service  especially  heavy.

RED  CROSS  KNITTERS 

The  knitting  which  was  done  by  the  women  of  Springfield  and  Sangamon  county 
formed  a  large  part  of  the  work  of  the  Red  Cross  so  faithfully  performed  by  its  mem- 
bers. Every  auxiliary  and  branch  had  its  knitting  class,  and  in  addition  to  these, 
practically  every  home  in  the  county  saw  this  work  as  a  part  of  the  routine  of  the  day. 
In  fact,  "Knit  two,  Purl  two,"  was  the  slogan  familiar  to  all! 

The  gentle  inmates  of  the  Carrie  Post  Home  for  Old  Ladies  contributed  a  large 
amount  of  kh'tting  to  the  big  score.  These  faithful  women  were  more  than  anxious 
to  do  their  share,  and  their  patient  fingers  seemed  to  pick  up  the  threads  of  long  for- 
gotten days,  and  they  delighted  in  telling  the  younger  generation  just  how  all  this 
knit  two-ing  and  purl  two-ing  was  done. 

Many  aged  women  in  the  county  knitted  large  numbers  of  socks  and  wristlets  and 
helmets  and  sweaters.  Theirs  was  a  part  of  the  uncounted  task  in  which  the  women 
of  America  entered  heart  and  soul  to  back  their  boys,  their  sons,  husbands  and  sweet- 
hearts, in  the  righteous  fight  against  the  enemy. 

RED  CROSS  INSPECTORS 

The  women  of  the  committee  of  Inspectors  for  the  Red  Cross  gave  most  generously 
of  their  time  and  effort  to  the  work  of  inspecting  the  thousands  of  articles  made  by 
Red  Cross  workers.  This  committee  inspected  everything,  garments,  knitted  articles, 
Christmas  boxes,  made  by  all  the  Red  Cross  Workers  of  the  county,  with  the  single 
exception  of  Surgical  Dressings. 

The  work  of  inspecting  the  Christmas  boxes  alone,  the  boxes  which  relatives  of 
service  people  in  France,  Italy,  Russia,  Belgium  and  England,  were  permitted  to  send 
to  their  boys  at  Christmas  time,  was  a  tremendous  task.  Hundreds  of  these  boxes  were 
carefully  inspected,  packed,  wrapped  and  addressed  under  their  direction. 

They  worked  chiefly  at  the  Red  Cross  headquarters,  and  most  untiringly  gave 
months  and  months  of  their  time,  faithfully,  devotedly,  unstintedly.  The  same  com- 
mittee, with  very  few  changes,  worked  together  during  the  entire  period  of  the  Red 
Cross  war  activities. 

Mrs.  Ernest  Helmle  was  chairman  of  the  Inspection  Committee,  which  included 
the  following  members:  Mrs.  William  T.  Lewis,  Mrs.  W.  C.  Kikendall,  Miss  Mary 
Brown,  Mrs.  George  W.  Chatterton,  Mrs.  A.  D.  Mackie,  Mrs.  A.  S.  Mitchell,  Mrs. 
John  Springer,  Mrs.  C.  G.  Maxwell,  Mrs.  Lewis  Scharf.  Mrs.  George  Fish,  Miss 
Nellie  Weisz,  Miss  Enola  Irwin,  Miss  Mary  Compton,  Miss  Judith  Elkin,  Mrs.  A. 
Westburg,  Mrs.  J.  E.  Scott,  Miss  Ellen  Corbett,  Mrs.  John  Lord,  Mrs.  Frank 
Partridge.

LIBERTY  LOAN 

The  Liberty  Loan  organization  in  Sangamon  county  remained  practically  un- 
changed from  the  time  the  First  Liberty  Loan  was  floated  in  May,  1917,  until  the 
Victory  Loan  of  May,  1919,  went  successfully  "over  the  top". 

The  First  and  Second  Liberty  Loan  quotas  were  exceeded  in  Sangamon  county. 
By  the  time  of  the  Third  Liberty  Loan,  in  May,  1918,  the  organization  was  perfected, 
and  the  manner  in  which  all  five  of  the  big  Loans  were  subscribed  in  the  county  was 
an  inspiration. 

The  quota  for  the  Third  Loan  for  Sangamon  county  was  $2,579,800.  Actual 
investments  in  Government  Bonds  were  made  to  the  amount  of  $3,716,100,  an  over- 
subscription which  had  few  equals  in  the  United  States.

SANGAMON  COUNTY  FOOD  ADMINISTRATION 

The  Sangamon  County  Food  Administration  was  organized  in  November,  1917. 
The  appointment  of  Logan  Coleman  as  Sangamon  County  Food  Administrator  was 
confirmed  December  17,  1917,  by  the  United  States  Food  Administration. 

J.  Fleetwood  Connelly  served  on  the  committee,  assisting  Mr.  Coleman  in  the 
work  of  the  Food  Administration,  and  in  August,  1918,  was  appointed  Assistant 
County  Food  Administrator.  A  short  time  later  the  appointment  of  Elmer  R.  Cogswell 
as  City  Food  Administrator  for  Springfield  was  made. 

The  complete  committee  for  Sangamon  county  included  the  following  township 
committeemen :  George  R.  Brown,  Divernon;  W.  F.  Merriman,  Williamsville ; 
F.  L.  McQuitty,  Curran ;  Frank  Whitney,  Chatham ;  Frank  Sweet,  Fancy  Creek ; 
Clarence  Twist,  Rochester;  C.  W.  Hunter,  Cotton  Hill;  Robert  Knox,  Illiopolis; 
John  H.  Ross,  Buffalo  Hart;  Louis  Shepherd,  Woodside;  Harry  Happe,  Gardner; 
W.  C.  Schaffer,  Cartwright;  G.  P.  Harris,  Auburn;  Lewis  Bird,  Mechanicsburg; 
Gertrude  McCullough,  Clear  Lake;  Earl  Coulter,  New  Berlin;  T.  C.  Shepher, 
Pawnee. 

The  first  thing  which  confronted  the  Food  Administration  after  organization  in 
Sangamon  county  was  the  flour  shortage.  Under  Mr.  Coleman's  direction,  a  flour 
ration  was  instituted  in  the  county,  and  the  use  of  substitutes  put  into  effect,  so  that 
wheat  flour  might  be  saved  for  the  men  in  service  and  the  Allies. 

During  April  and  May  of  1918,  a  campaign  was  put  on  by  the  County  Food 
Administration  to  urge  people  who  had  flour  in  storage  to  return  it  to  their  dealers,  and 
accept  flour  substitutes  for  it. 

Then  came  the  sugar  shortage,  and  sugar  rationing  in  homes,  hotels  and  res- 
taurants was  put  into  effect.  The  use  of  sugar  certificates  was  adopted,  and  sugar  for 
home  or  public  use  could  only  be  obtained  on  certificates  from  the  Food  Administration. 

The  Food  Administration  then  undertook  a  general  campaign  to  urge  conserva- 
tion of  food  stuffs,  for  the  adoption  of  substitutes  and  the  use  of  things  which  could  not 
be  shipped  to  the  service  men  overseas  and  the  Allies,  and  the  release  of  food  materials 
which  would  be  shipped.  The  response  was  generous. 

This  work  continued  throughout  the  year  1918  until  the  s  gning  of  the  Armistice 
terminated  hostilities,  and  after  that  until  the  Food  Administration  was  disorganized 
and  the  members  discharged,  in  January,  1919.

SANGAMON  COUNTY  FUEL  ADMINISTRATION 


HARRY  A.  CONVERSE 

Chairman   Sangamon  County  Fuel 

Administration 


MISS  JEANETTE  1.  KNOBLOCH 
Secretary 

The  Sangamon  County  Fuel  Ad- 
ministration was  organized  in  No- 
vember, 1917,  with  Harry  A.  Con- 
verse, chairman;  Miss  Jeanette  I. 
Knobloch,  secretary;  Charles  W.  H. 
Schuck  and  Thomas  P.  Luby,  consti- 
tuting the  county  committee. 

This  committee  had  jurisdiction 
over  the  whole  of  Sangamon  county. 
The  purpose  was  to  so  regulate  the 
use  of  fuel  in  Sangamon  county,  con- 
sistent with  the  program  of  the 
United  States  Fuel  Administration, 
that  the  industries  of  the  county 
might  be  as  unhampered  as  possible 
while  the  maximum  of  fuel  was  fur- 
nished for  the  needful  War  Agencies. 
The  principal  duty  of  the  Fuel  Ad- 
ministration was  to  take  care  of  the 
wants  of  the  local  community,  to  ad- 
just the  price  of  coal  at  the  mine,  the 
cost  of  hauling  and  delivering,  and 
the  ultimate  price  of  coal  to  the  con- 
sumer. This  necessitated  constant 
touch  with  coal  operators,  retail  deal- 
ers, and  team  owners. 

In  addition  to  looking  after  the  coal  supply,  the  Fuel  Administration  was  required  to  supervise 
the  enforcement  of  "Lightless  Nights,"  which  were  Monday  and  Tuesday  nights  of  each  week,  and 
"Heatless  Days,"  the  closing  down  of  industry  and  the  shutting  down  of  heat  to  th£  minimum  each 
Monday  during  January,  Februray  and  March  of  1918,  and  the  supervision  of  the  Garfield  Closing 
Order,  which  required  the  shutting  down  of  industry  for  five  days  in  January,  1918. 

The  County  Fuel  Administration  was  also  required,  by  reason  of  the  large  coal  supply  in  Sanga- 
mon county,  to  assist  generally  with  coal  production  and  supply  in  the  state.  For  the  purpose  of  con- 
trolling the  output  and  consumption  of  coal  in  Sangamon  county,  all  dealers  were  registered  and  no 
dealers  were  permt!ted  to  buy  coal  from  operators  other  than  those  registered  and  icensed  with  the  Fuel 
Administration. 

In  the  fall  of  1918  it  became  necessary  for  the  Fuel  Administratoin  to  supervise  the  use  of  gaso- 
line, and  for  a  period  of  about  two  months  "Gaso'ineless  Sundays"  were  in  effect  in  Sangamon  county. 
The  Sangamon  County  Fuel  Administration  closed  work  in  February,  1919,  and  reported  that 
during  the  period  of  its  existence  the  citizens  of  Sangamon  county  very  generally  co-operated  cheerfully 
in  carrying  out  the  rules  and  regulations,  however  pressing  and  inconvenient  they  were,  which  the 
Fuel  Administration  imposed.

SPRINGFIELD  LOYAL  LEAGUE 

The  Springfield  Loyal  League,  State  Council  of  Defense,  was  organized  in  the 
Spring  of  1918,  and  incorporated  under  state  laws  July  23,  1918.  The  organization 
was  originally  the  Auxiliary  to  Unit  No.  1,  Council  of  Defense,  which  was  organized 
in  October,  1917,  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  in  the  equipment  of  Unit  No.  1,  the  Home 
Guard  organization  of  the  Council  of  Defense. 

The  purpose  of  the  Loyal  League,  which  continued  its  activities  and  existence 
after  the  Armistice,  was  to  assist  the  National  and  State  Governments  in  enforcing 
the  Federal  and  State  laws,  to  inculcate  patriotism,  to  promote  the  public  good,  and 
to  aid  to  the  best  of  its  ability  in  bringing  the  World  War  to  a  righteous  conclusion. 

The  Loyal  League  had  a  secret  Espionage  committee.  It  also  did  a  great 
deal  of  charity  work,  in  addition  to  helping  all  patriotic  undertakings  during  the  War. 

Two  big  patriotic  celebrations  were  held  in  Sangamon  county  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Loyal  League,  one  the  Fourth  of  July  celebration  in  1918,  and  the  other  the 
Victory  Thanksgiving  held  at  the  State  Arsenal  in  November,  1919,  after  the 
Armistice. 

At  the  time  of  the  signing  of  the  Armistice,  work  was  under  way  to  establish 
a  Loyal  League  organization  in  every  township  in  Sangamon  county.  And  emanating 
from  the  Springfield  organization  the  Loyal  League  movement  had  started  to  be 
state-wide  in  its  scope. 

The  officers  of  the  Springfield  Loyal  League,  State  Council  of  Defense,  during 
the  World  War  were  as  follows: 

Dr.  C.  A.  Frazee,  president;  E.  L.  Chapin,  vice  president;  William  H.  Conkling, 
secretary-treasurer;  H.  E.  Barker,  sergeant-at-arms ;  Rev.  Euclid  B.  Rogers,  chaplain.

H.  S.  Bekemeyer,  H.  B.  Davidson,  James  H.  Matheny,  Col.  Henry  Davis,  W.  A. 
Couthway,  Rev.  Euclid  B.  Rogers. 

The  membership  of  the  Loyal  League  number  seven  hundred.

FATHERLESS  CHILDREN  OF  FRANCE 


MRS.   CHARLES   V.   HICKOX 

Chairman   Fatherless  Children  of 

France 

The  Springfield  Committee  of  the  Fatherless  Children  of  France  was  formed  in 
Maj-,  1917.  The  object  of  the  organization  was  the  relief  of  needy  French  children 
under  sixteen  years  of  age  whose  fathers  had  been  killed  in  the  World  War.  An 
essential  feature  of  this  work  was  assistance  given  to  the  mothers  of  the  children, 
enabling  them  to  be  kept  at  home  or  under  the  care  of  a  guardian,  if  they  were  orphans, 
so  that  they  could  be  brought  up  under  as  nearly  normal  conditions  as  possible,  and 
in  the  faith  of  their  fathers. 

The  sum  required  to  sustain  one  fatherless  child  during  a  year  was  $36.50,  and 
the  funds  obtained  by  the  Society  in  America  were  sent  direct  to  a  distributing  banking 
firm  in  New  York  who  forwarded  it  to  their  Paris  representatives  to  be  paid  to  the 
mothers  or  guardians  of  the  "adopted"  children  in  France. 

The  Fatherless  Children  of  France  committee  in  Springfield  united  with  The 
American  Fund  for  French  Wounded  organization  in  giving  benefits  and  otherwise 
raising  funds  to  carry  on  the  work  of  their  organizations,  and  received  the  hearty 
support  and  cooperation  of  the  people  of  Sangamon  county. 

Some  of  the  children  of  France  were  "adopted"  by  local  people  for  periods  of 
from  one  to  four  years,  and  many  of  the  foster  parents  expressed  their  determination  to 
look  after  the  future  and  education  of  their  charges  over  the  seas. 

Three  hundred  and  forty-four  children  of  France  were  "adopted"  by  Sangamon 
county  people,  at  a  cost  of  $11,826;  two  hundred  for  two  years,  at  a  cost  of  $14,600; 
thirty-three  for  three  years,  at  a  cost  of  $3,613.50 ;  five  for  four  years-,  at  a  cost  of  $730. 
This  made  a  total  of  $30,769.50  subscribed  by  Sangamon  county  for  the  care  of  five 
hundred  and  sixty-two  children  of  the  Land  of  the  Lilies  destituted  by  war. 

The  French  government  sent  an  expression  of  appreciation  of  the  efforts  of  the 
Sangamon  county  committee. 

The  committee  in  Sangamon  county  extended  its  activities  into  several  other 
counties,  with  the  chairmen  of  these  committees  under  the  direction  of  the  local 
committee. 

The  officers  for  the  organization  during  the  four  years  of  its  existence  in  Sangamon 
county  were  as  follows: 

1917-1918:  Mrs.  Charles  V.  Hickox,  chairman;  Mrs.  Clinton  L.  Conkling, 
vice-chairman;  Mrs.  James  H.  Collins,  secretary;  Henry  Bunn,  treasurer.

AMERICAN  FUND  FOR  FRENCH  WOUNDED 

The  American  Fund  for  French  Wounded  started  its  work  of  emergency  relief 
for  the  sufferers  of  France  in  April,  1915,  as  part  of  the  English  organization. 

The  organization  grew  so  rapidly  in  the  United  States  that  an  independent 
American  society  was  formed,  with  a  distributing  depot  in  Paris,  France. 

In  February,  1916,  a  branch  of  the  organization  was  formed  in  Springfield,  and 
the  local  committee  of  the  American  Fund  for  French  Wounded  continued  from  that 
time  its  work  of  making  garments,  surgical  dressings  and  comfort  bags  until  the  spring 
of  1919. 

The  organization  for  the  three  years  of  the  existence  of  the  local  committee  was 
as  follows: 

1916 — Mrs.  William  T.  Lewis,  chairman;  Mrs.  J.  E.  T.  Rutter,  vice-chairman; 
Mrs.  J.  S.  Lord,  treasurer;  Miss  Jewel  Kennedy,  surgical  dressings. 

1917 — Mrs.  Philip  Barton  Warren,  chairman;  Mrs.  Eugene  Fayart,  vice-chair- 
man; Mrs.  Garfield  Portch,  treasurer;  Mrs.  William  R.  Vredenburgh,  surgical 
dressings. 

1918 — Mrs.  Philip  Barton  Warren,  chairman;  Mrs.  Eugene  Fayart,  vice-chair- 
man; Miss  Stericker,  treasurer;  Mrs.  C.  A.  Frazee,  garment  making;  Miss  Georgia 
Edwards,  surgical  dressings.

A  Service  Flag  containing  a  star  for  each  girl  in  service  was  dedicated  to  them 
and  placed  in  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  in  Springfield.  One  Gold  Star  for  Miss  Geneva 
Casstevens,  a  Nurse  in  Unit  W  who  lost  her  life  while  working  with  the  flu  epidemic 
at  Camp  Knotty  Ash,  England,  made  that  flag  a  thing  very  precious  and  wonderful. 

The  girls  so  honored  were  Red  Cross  and  Army  Nurses,  Red  Cross  Workers, 
Y.  W.  C.  A.  and  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Workers,  Telephone  Girls  in  the  Signal  Corps,  girls  in 
the  service  of  the  American  Fund  for  French  Wounded  and  the  Fatherless  Children 
of  France,  and  girls  who  had  enlisted  in  the  Navy. 


COMMUNITY  BAND  FUND  COMMITTEE 

The  Community  Band  Fund  Committee  was  organized  in  the  spring  of  1918, 
and  was  licensed  under  the  State  Council  of  Defense. 

The  purpose  of  the  committee  was  to  raise  money  to  pay  for  band  music  when 
draft  contingents  left  the  city  for  army  camps. 

Approximately  $3,500  was  raised  by  the  committee,  and  expended  for  band  music 
on  the  occasion  when  contingents  departed  for  camp.  Much  of  this  money  was 
realized  from  subscriptions,  appeals  for  which  were  made  through  the  newspapers. 

In  October,  1918,  the  Community  Band  Fund  Committee  gave  a  Military  Ball 
at  the  State  Arsenal,  and  approximately  $2,000  was  cleared  as  the  proceeds  of  the 
ball,  adding  to  the  funds  in  the  committee's  treasury. 

The  officers  of  the  committee  were:  Dr.  J.  Bank,  Chairman;  Miss  Nellie 
Browne  Duff,  Vice  Chairman  and  Secretary ;  and  Oscar  Stitt,  Treasurer.  Mr.  Stitt 
was  succeeded  by  David  A.  Alkire,  cashier  of  Ridgely-Farmers  State  Bank,  as  treas- 
urer, and  the  funds  raised  by  the  committee  were  deposited  in  this  bank.  The  com- 
mittee was  organized  by  Dr.  Bank  and  Miss  Nellie  Browne  Duff. 

When  the  War  ended,  about  four  hundred  dollars  remained  in  the  Community 
Band  Fund  treasury.  This  money  was  donated  to  the  expenses  of  the  Homecoming 
Celebration.
